Big Banjee Review and Giveaway!

A review of a Banjee Wrist Wallet and a GIVEAWAY!

Jon Ludwig is the CPA’s Artistic Director and has worked at the organization since its inception

I was recently contacted by a representative from a great company called Sprigs to see if I was interested in trying out one of their products. Well, of course I was! So, look at this cool Big Banjee I received in the mail! If you are wondering what this is, it is a really cool device that fits on your wrist to hold your necessaries while you are on your run. Why didn't I think of this?

This little thing is called a Banjee Wrist Wallet and is perfect for any of you who run, walk, stroll, walk your dog, bike, or do ANYTHING that requires you to be "purse free" and still be able to have your keys, phone, credit card, money or some such necessary with you. 

I was asked to choose a couple of colors from the website, and let me tell you, it was a difficult choice! There are tons of fun colors and combinations to choose! Since I use an iPhone I chose the Big Banjee, but there is also a small one for those who do not need the larger size. The fabric is nice and lightweight and absorbs any moisture.   

I decided to try out the Big Banjee the other day for an afternoon run. I normally do not like to run with my phone because I don't like carrying it. Sometimes, I have to but I always get annoyed switching it from hand to hand. On the Banjee there is a nice zippered pocket my phone slid right into. There is also a fold over type pocket for keys. I loved this as I either have to tie a key to my shoelace or put it in the little runner pocket of my shorts, but I'm always afraid it will slip out. I slid the Banjee on my right arm. I will have to admit my wrists are a little puny so I had to slide it more up my arm, but it was no problem. As I was running in the afternoon it got really hot and I got really sweaty, but the fabric was breathable and stayed comfortable.  

I think it is a great solution to being active outside and staying hands free! If you are walking your dog you can even put your little baggie right in the pocket. How cool is that? As I said before, why didn't I come up with this? So, I'm really liking my Banjee and their great idea.
